Join the Commission

Would you like to join the Human Rights Commission?

The City of Dubuque City Clerk's Office will receive applications for the Human Rights Commission and other commissions throughout the year, even if there are no vacancies. When a seat is open, your application will be placed on the City Council agenda for consideration. Commissioners are expected to serve a three-year term, be a resident of Dubuque and remain so while in office, attend all monthly and special meetings as required by the Human Rights Commission Ordinance, and meet with the Human Rights Department staff at various times.
